Case Study: Matmut achieves uninterrupted access to critical data and continuous service availability with Forcepoint NGFW

Matmut - Customer Case Study

Matmut, a major French insurer with more than 3.2 million members and roughly 6,000 employees accessing 600 servers across two data centers, needed to guarantee uninterrupted access to critical data and maintain high service quality even during incidents or maintenance. The IT security team’s challenge was to ensure seamless communication and load sharing between sites so users would never be affected by network events or planned operations.

Matmut deployed Forcepoint NGFW appliances replicated across both data centers, sharing firewall, IPS/IDS, VPN, load‑balancing and SD‑Wan policies to automatically route traffic to the fastest or available site. The solution enables maintenance and datacenter shutdowns without disrupting users, simplifies management for administrators, and has delivered reliable, cost‑effective high availability that meets Matmut’s strict service requirements.
